AAA Cards #264 – Sketch

Hello there, it’s time for a new challenge over at AAA Cards and do we have a great sketch for you!

I decided to play with an old stamp and die set from Stampin Up ‘Forever Fern’ which I inked up with some Altenew inks doing the rock’n’roll technique to the edges and then die cut the leaves. I added them underneath my circle punched sentiment and my card was done.

Come join in the fun; we’d love to see how you were inspired. Check out the projects that the other artists at AAA Cards have created, take the challenge and link your creation to the challenge post. We’d love to have you join us.  You have until Saturday, 11th May to link up your project.

Just Add Ink #699 – Colour Challenge

Hello there, it’s time for another Just Add Ink Challenge and do we have a great color challenge for you!

Can I say that I struggled with this combination? I thought it was going to be easy but I tried 3 times before I was happy. I wanted to give even balance to each colour but just couldn’t get it working till I inked smooshed a piece of water colour cardstock and then patted off some of the colour to tone the saturation down. I then added a die cut panel using a coverplate from Paper Rose ‘Blooming Flowers’. I added some diamonte gems to the flower buds and a sentiment from Uniquely Creative. I’m so happy with how this version came out.

Sketch Saturday #749 – Opt use a trio of something

Hello there, it’s time for another Sketch Saturday Challenge and do we have a great sketch for you!

I thought this sketch was another good one to make a Christmas card using some fab DSP from Stampin Up ‘Boughs of Holly’. I used a sentiment embossing folder for my dark green panel and then add 3 holly berry leaves I had in my stash and 3 green enamel dots.

AAA Cards #263 – Opt twist Wedding/Anniversary

Hello there, it’s time for another challenge over at AAA Cards and do we have a great theme for you!

I decided to use the optional twist on my card and made an Anniversary card. I did a bit of scoring on my background panel, then added a series of die cut hearts and leaves from some scrap cardstock and popped up my sentiment from Uniquely Creative.

Just Add Ink #697 – sketch

Hello there, it’s time for another Just Add Ink Challenge and do we have a great sketch for you!

I thought our sketch lent itself to a quick and easy Christmas card. I used a few different sized circle punchs, some retired DSP from Stampin Up ‘Trimming the town’ and an inked up embossing folder ‘Expossed brick’, a sentiment made on my PC and a few glitter dots and my card was done. I love the effect you get when you ink up an embossing folder and then run the paper through your embossing machine.

Sketch Saturday #748 opt use a food or drink theme

Hello there, it’s time for another Sketch Saturday Challenge and do we have a great sketch for you!

I chose not to go with the optional theme of food or drink on my card and felt the sketch lent itself to a simple Christmas card. I used some DSP from Stampin Up ‘Joy of Christmas’ for the panel and then die cut ‘ho ho ho’ and added them to some layered circles and added a sentiment from Uniquely Creative.

AAA Birthday #60 – Shaker

Hello there, it’s time for a new challenge over at AAA Birthday and do we have a great theme for you!

I love a good shaker card, so was super happy with this challenge suggestion! I used a new stamp set from Stampin Up called ‘Simply Sparkling’ and turned the soft drink can into my shaker element. I made a simple z-fold style card and kept the focus on the front panel and my shaker can.
